Thanks Ever.. so have you made any decisions about what to do?
AFM.. I took a peek on a FET calendar to see when I was due, and it said I was already 2 weeks pregnant!It took me off guard but I guess I am!
So my next decision is whether toor not to

I have always tested in the past, but have had my heart pulled out each time. So I'm afraid to test, but at the same time I want to know as soon as it is possible to know!
Plus my friends are having a Memorial Day party and I have heard rumors that they are doing fireworks to commemorate my BFP! So I need to test before then!

I dunno what to tell you. Personally I'm NOT a tester, but as you have pointed out in the past, there are some good reasons, other than insatiable curiousity, to test. It's an interesting topic at the moment because my best friend, who is considerably younger than me (33) found herself pregnant about two years ago while she was on the pill. She had only been with her now-husband for a couple of months. Together they embraced the idea of having a baby only to find at their 8 week ultrasound that she had a blighted ovum. Needless to say she was crushed and her "pregnancy innocence" (as i recently heard it referred to as) was stolen. Fast forward to now, she and her hubby have been officially trying for a month. Her period was a day late and she took a test last night. It came up pregnant (a digital brand). This morning her period arrived. Obviously she's not sure what's going on, but you better believe she is cursing herself for taking the test. She kept saying if "I only waited I wouldn't have known and then I wouldn't be having these irrational feelings that I'll never be able to have a baby", because as I'm sure you can imagine that's what is now going through her mind. Anyway...I don't mean to be a downer cuz I know you are bound for a full throttle BFP, but it's just a timely topic in my life right now. Sometimes I feel like us gals with all our issues are dealing with a blessing/curse situation ya know? Sometimes it seems we know too much, and when it's not what we're hoping will happen it's almost too hard to bear...I don't know, I'm rambling a bit. Just feeling sad and unsettled for my pal cuz I hate for her to be down on herself...sigh.
I can understand her being sad and upset, I would be too! If it happens to me that I am pregnant but then a week later it fails, I will be heart broken. Still, I would rather have that information than not. For this cycle I think it is important that I do test so that I know if we are making progress. I've never ever once had a positive on a pregnancy test (other than due to HCG) so to see it turn even for a moment, would be progress to me!
For your friend, while I'm sure she is sad now, and concerned that she can't get pregnant, knowing she was if only for a moment is a clue to her fertility that will help a OB or FS determine what is wrong. So I'm still on theside of things even if it breaks our hearts!
True, true...she's gonna be ok, but she said if there's another "incident" she's heading straight to an RE.
That being said in your case I say "Test Away Sister"!!! Super excited for you!!
